Hope you don't mind me being rude - how much did she set you back? What's the mileage, etc?

glen you dark horse you
from ipswich i beleive!
I was looking at that myself and dreaming about having a spare couple of grand ops:
well done mate will be nice to see it in the flesh

Well thanks all.  Had a chance to drive it today and thouroughly enjoyed it.  Drives very well and everything still seems nice and tight.  Picked it up last night and was unable to drive it as i had no insurance but a mate drove it back and i followed behind trying to keep up.  I wasn't expecting a cabby to be quite so responsive.
I found it whilst cruising through the ads in the for sale section and thought it was worth a look.  The previous owner is a real enthusiast and he looked after it well.  A real credit to him.  So if you're reading….
cheers Matt.
Car has covered 93500 and still has 90% of it's original paintwork, looks like one of the wing has been resprayed at some stage.  Has a aftermarket grille which I think I will change for the original at some stage.  It's a vw and I like to see the badge on the front.  Also has a supersrint exhaust on it, It plays quite a pleasant tune so I rekon that can stay.  The chap had recently replaced the roof for a mohair one and kindly passed on the guarantee for that. A quality stereo had been installed but apart from that it seems standard, with the original sportsline steering wheel!.
After a bit of haggleing
I picked it up for  which I didn't think was too bad after carefully reading through all the point to look for in the cabby buyers guide(a very handy document thanks).
TBH I wasnt really looking for a sportline cause i never thought i'd find one up for sale.  Started out looking for a black or helios blue gti but when I saw this I just had to go have a butchers.
I have one problem… I've recently ordered my club polo shirt with the tin top logo, so I guess I'll be needin to order another.  And I'm now a Club Membership sticker short too (hint hint).

As for volksfest i'll think it'll be the cabby,  got a bit of worklined up for the campaign so now I reckon i'll crack on with that.

Sounds good mate, esp with the new roof - always a bonus with a cab!  :wink

That's the one!
Wishing I had a spare couple of grand myself now.  Put the midget up for sale so hopefully the mortgage will get paid next month :wink:

If you want to meet up for a bevvy fella, give us a shout.

Hello Glen,

I wondered if I might see the beast on here.

Glad you finally got to drive it!

All the best mate

Matt
